SINTESIS DAN KARAKTERISASI NANOPARTIKEL PERAK TERMODIFIKASI GLUTATHIONE MENGGUNAKAN REDUKTOR NaBH4
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) possess remarkable properties that make them suitable for various applications in biomedical, environmental, and catalytic fields. This study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of glutathione-modified silver nanoparticles (AgNPs-GSH) using sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) as a reducing agent. The reduction of AgNO₃ by NaBH₄ produces elemental silver nanoparticles, as indicated by a color change to bright yellow due to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) phenomenon. The synthesized nanoparticles were stabilized using glutathione (GSH), which binds through thiol (-SH), amine (-NH₂), and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, enhancing the stability and biocompatibility of the AgNPs. UV-Vis spectroscopic analysis revealed a maximum absorbance at 408 nm, consistent with the optical properties of silver nanoparticles. Furthermore, particle size analysis indicated an average nanoparticle size of 1.271 nm, with some degree of agglomeration. These findings suggest the successful synthesis and functionalization of AgNPs-GSH with potential applications in nanobiotechnology
SKRINING BAKTERI DARI AIR SUNGAI KARANG MUMUS SEBAGAI PENGHASIL ENZIM PROTEASE, SELULASE DAN LIPASE
Bacteria from polluted waters have the potential to produce extracellular hydrolase enzymes, namely protease enzymes, cellulase and lipase. This study was conducted to isolate bacteria from the water of the Karang Mumus River around Segiri Market, Samarinda as a producer of hydrolase enzymes. The bacteria were isolated in a nutrient-dense agar (NA) medium by the streak method. The results of bacterial isolation were obtained from 14 single colonies of bacteria. Single colonies of bacteria are selected to produce hydrolase enzymes in the form of proteases, cellulases and lipases. The results of the selection of hydrolase enzyme-producing bacteria were 3 protease-producing isolates, 10 cellulase-producing isolates, and 5 lipase-producing isolates

SKRINING FITOKIMIA, UJI ANTIOKSIDAN DAN UJI TOKSISITAS EKSTRAK ETANOL DAUN BINTARO (Cerbera manghas) DENGAN METODE BRINE SHRIMP LETHALITY TEST (BSLT)
The purpose of this study was to determine the results of phytochemical tests of bintaro leaf ethanol extract and to determine the results of antioxidant tests using the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method with a concentration variation of 100; 80; 60; 40; and 20 ppm obtained from bintaro leaf ethanol extract by testing its toxicity using the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method. The results showed that the ethanol extract of bintaro leaves (Cerbera manghas) contains steroid compounds, saponins, and quinones. Furthermore, the IC50 value of the ethanol extract of bintaro leaves (C. manghas) was 41.68 ppm with a very strong category and the results of the toxicity test obtained the LC50 value of the ethanol extract of bintaro leaves (C. manghas) of 30.44 ppm with a very toxic category. An extract with an LC50 value ≤ 30 ppm has the potential as an anticancer drug candidate because of the correlation between the level of toxicity and anticancer activity so that these results can be concluded that the ethanol extract of bintaro leaves (C. manghas) has the potential to have bioactivity because it is toxic to Artemia salina L. shrimp larvae.

APLIKASI METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS (MOF) BERBASIS LOGAM Zn DALAM DEGRADASI FOTOKATALITIK POLUTAN ORGANIK
Photocatalytic degradation is a widely studied method for reducing the concentration of organic pollutants. This technique has proven effective in breaking down various organic compounds, including dyes, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) represent a promising class of materials for photocatalytic degradation due to their favorable catalytic properties, such as high porosity and large surface area. Additionally, MOFs offer structural tunability, allowing their properties to be tailored for specific applications. This review discusses the structural characteristics, photocatalytic mechanisms, synthesis strategies, current applications, and the future prospects and challenges of Zn-based MOFs in the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants.

MINI-REVIEW: APLIKASI SPEKTROFOTOMETRI UV-VIS PADA PENETAPAN PENGARUH MATRIKS TERHADAP PB DENGAN PENGOMPLEKS ALIZARIN SULFONAT
Heavy metal contamination, particularly lead (Pb), is a serious environmental issue due to its toxic nature and ability to accumulate in the food chain. Common analytical methods such as AAS and ICP-OES offer high accuracy but require expensive instruments and complex procedures. As a simpler and more economical alternative, UV-Visible spectrophotometry utilizes the formation of coordination complexes between Pb²⁺ ions and complexing reagents such as alizarin sulfonate. This mini review discusses the interaction between Pb and alizarin sulfonate, the working principle of UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and the influence of sample matrices on complex stability. The review indicates that this method provides valid, rapid, and efficient results, and can be effectively applied to environmental samples with complex matrices, provided appropriate sample preparation and method validation are conducted.

This review article aims to compare and analyze the latest research on the synthesis and characterization of aluminum oxide nanoparticles from inorganic waste. Aluminum Oxide (Alumina, Al2O3) is a compound formed from aluminum and oxygen. The nature of Al2O3 is resistant to corrosion. Based on a literature review, the synthesis of aluminum oxide nanoparticles can be synthesized by precipitation methods, sol-gel methods, electrolysis methods, green synthesis methods, sonochemical methods and others. The precipitation method is a method used to produce a powder that has advantages including homogeneous mixing that occurs from a reactant precipitate reduces the reaction temperature and the process of this method to synthesize metal oxide powder is very simple. This method has several disadvantages such as not being able to run well when using reactants that have different solubilities, this process is not appropriate for the manufacture of materials with a high level of purity, in addition this method does not have common synthesis conditions in the formation of several metal oxides. In this review, we will discuss the synthesis of Al2O3 nanoparticles characterization results using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Therefore, this mini review reviews the development of Al2O3 characterization synthesis with precipitation method.
